Fractal Design Core 500 Maximum Graphics Card Width

I've been looking for hours today and can't find any stats on the maximum graphics card width for this case.  Their website says it is dual slot compatible but it doesn't say if there is clearance for cards with bigger cooling solutions.  Does anyone know if this case will hold a graphics card that is more than 2 slots wide?  I'm wanting to put a 3 slot card in it and need to know if it will fit before I buy.

 

Thanks

I haven't chosen a card yet but I was hoping I'd have room for the Gigabyte Aorus 1070 linked below but it's a triple slot.  Thanks for your quick response.  I guess I'll have to settle for a card with a less robust cooler.

EVGA 1070 (SC/FTW) or Asusu Strix are both good cooelrs and true dual slot cards (Strix and FTW are a bit tall tho) the SC should be more than enough for the 1070
